The Kozhikode Rural police have initiated proceedings to seize and forfeit properties allegedly acquired through proceeds of drug trafficking by the five recently arrested suspects, including three special educators, in the Perambra synthetic drug case. The property forfeiture proceedings come as the newly constituted Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Kozhikode rural police expands its probe into the financial intermediaries linked to a multi-State synthetic drug syndicate. “Also, we have examined the details of a few foreign trips made by one of the accused teachers and the get-togethers they hosted in the name of various training sessions. Their police custody will be sought to continue with the interrogation,” said a police officer with the Special Investigation Team. Neeshma were the three special educators recently arrested for allegedly functioning as financial intermediaries for inter-State drug traffickers.
